No possibility drove up to the ruins.

Ruins of a medieval castle on the lake. From what I read, the castle is currently in private hands, some work is underway there, so perhaps it will become an attractive tourist destination. At the moment, it is a bit disappointing. Nice views, the proximity of the lake is definitely an advantage. Nice idea for a point during a bike trip.

An interesting, though severely dilapidated building, lying on the shores of a small lake, which, interestingly, was a defensive church, and later a castle and the seat of various families. The current owner tries to protect the remains of the building with modest means, and even recreate something there (a fragment of the wall). However, you can only dream of a reconstruction such as Poledno, Gniew or Świecie. The passionate present there told in an interesting and accessible way about the facility itself and its situation.

The ruins of the castle are not in the best condition. You can see that it was "taken care of" not long ago - the walls are protected against the destructive effects of time. Entry to the castle is forbidden - dangerous. When we got near the ruins, a gentleman who said we were on private property appeared and asked us to leave it. I do not know who is the owner (administrator) of the ruins and who can stay and under what rights.

The place is a private area, so you cannot enter and explore.

Church of St Donatus

The Church of St Donatus name refers to Donatus of Zadar, who began construction on this church in the 9th century and ended it on the northeastern part of the Roman forum. It is the largest Pre-Romanesque building in Croatia.

The beginning of the building of the church was placed to the second half of the 8th century, and it is supposed to have been completed in the 9th century. The Zadar bishop and diplomat Donat (8th and 9th centuries) is credited with the building of the church. He led the representations of the Dalmatian cities to Constantinople and Charles the Great, which is why this church bears slight resemblance to Charlemagne's court chapels, especially the one in Aachen, and also to the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna. It belongs to the Pre-Romanesque architectural period.

The circular church, formerly domed, is 27 m high and is characterised by simplicity and technical primitivism.
